The Gatling Gun

Finally got to watch a film as you may have noticed not been around lately as family issues have intervened of late.Hopefully as they say one day at a time.
So decided to open a can all it said was The Gatling Gun,well turned out to be three reels of pink/ red copy of the western starring Guy Stockwell,Robert Fuller,Woody Strode and Barbara Luna.Released in 1971 it definitely is a film of its time,the story relates to two army deserters who steal a Gatling gun and end up with both cavalry and Apache Indians going after them.All ends up in a prolonged battle at the end.Sad to say it’s not as good as it must have thought it was,bad script and poor editing make what I thought would be a good film only a passable one.Shame good cast.
A few pics taken with my phone in semi daylight ,still passed an hour during thread weather.

Hi Gwyn,

Thanks for posting the pics...It definitely has happened to most all of us collectors--where we get a title that sounds promising but doesn't quite deliver.
Like Tom said, either way it is nice to get the projector purring again.
